Default Tire pressure for BFG DR on daily driver?

Did a seach, came up with alot of racing pressures (street and track) but no every day street pressures to help exstend the life of the tire when not racing. Anyone have any input on this matter?

They are the 255 50 16's BTW. Thanks

I ran 24-26 in my BFG's on the street. Raced at 14-16. That waas for the same size tire you are showing. They lasted 5-6k miles and wore out evenly.

Default dr's

I just had my first set of bfg dr's put on yesterday. I love them. I dont go to the track very often so for the street I set them at 30 psi. from what I'm reading here, That may be too high for max tread life. I am going to drop the psi down to 27-28. Does anyone disagree with that. Please give me your opinion.
I thought my kd's hooked good for a street tire. the dr's hook much better.
